Nice, can't wait for Leo Santa Cruz to not fight him.

LSC is on the other side of the street with PBC and has a much bigger fight on his plate against Gervonta Davis

Also Stevenson avoiding Berchelt and Jo Jo, let's not forget about that.

I think it's the joker grin. It's all about sales and markets. Shakur has looks and skill. Ryan Garcia is the same, but he's acting like the kid who doesn't believe in santa. Shakur doesn't mind a vacant title record run, or so it seems. Let's see if Ryan gets better competition, or takes more risk. Campbell in the UK would be more than credible. Not in Eddys back yard.

Puss Stevenson avoiding Nava !

Stevenson definitely has some boxing talent, he lacks power though. Even though he picked up the WBO belt at 126, he had it pretty easy in doing that and didn't really accomplish much at that weight. He will soon find out that at 130 he's going to have to step it up if he wants to compete, Guys like Berchelt, Diaz, Herring, are going to be tuff. People will say that Herring is his best shot, but I believe Santa Cruz with his lack of power is probably the weakest guy at 130 but would still be a good challenge for Stevenson.

Agree on all points.

The lack of decent power could be his Achilles hill!

Don't complains here.

Shakur Stevenson vs the WBO Champion Jamel Herring is a good fight and the Emmanuel Navarrete vs Jessie Magdaleno for the vacant featherweight WBO title is another good match up.

Shakur Stevenson who traine's for a fight by beating up old black woman in the street moved to 130 to duck josh warrington and GRJ now he'll duck Miguel Berchelt and anybody else with a pulse at 130 total hype job with no heart

Would have liked to see Stevenson take on the best guys in the division before moving up.
